Social networks are not just a space for leisure, where users coexist peacefully. X (formerly Twitter) is characterized by being a platform that lends itself to discussions on any topic. Sports, politics, entertainment, economy, no topic escapes the curious claws of X, and online poker rooms are no exception.
Recently, two poker players starred in a clash centered on CoinPoker‘s new software update, which arrived with a 100% rakeback promotion during the month of March. On March 2, the day of the update, player and influencer Caitlin Comeskey 
«Guys, CoinPoker has a huge security flaw that allows hackers to access your computers. If you downloaded the software, you should delete it as soon as possible until they resolve this,» Comeskey wrote.
Quickly, the room issued a statement warning that no such security flaw existed and that any technical inconvenience had already been resolved. Comeskey cited this announcement and wrote «That was fast. Geez».
This last message caused annoyance for Patrick Leonard 
«What do you mean? The post you shared was simply incorrect. Especially coming from someone who generates trust and respect in everyone, saying ‘CoinPoker has a security flaw with which they can access your computer and your money is not safe’ is one of the strongest posts I’ve seen from an ambassador on X. It’s not ‘That was fast, geez’, it should be ‘Sorry for being wrong, good communication’».
At this point, Caitlin defended herself with one of the most bizarre accusations we’ve seen in these contexts.
«Getting moral lessons from someone I saw angle shooting against a grandmother at the last WSOP is funny,» Caitlin wrote.
«Obviously we are not going to agree on what that was. We can ask your 10 closest friends, show them both sides and see who they think was out of line. If 9 out of 10 of your friends think it wasn’t you, I’ll donate $1.000 to charity. If 2 out of 10 say you and your post were out of line, would you apologize to Coin?», Pads lashed out.
At this point, the discussion seemed to no longer revolve around CoinPoker but rather a duel of egos between two industry greats. However, Caitlin was not going to leave things like that, so she cited this last response from Leonard and made a new, separate post.
«I take my poker platform very seriously. I don’t promote slots, table games, or sports betting. I don’t use junk content, I don’t buy engagement, and I don’t use AI to make content. I don’t associate with people or entities that don’t align with my values, and if I find out about bad behavior in my current relationships, I take severe action.
Yesterday it caught my attention to see that in a private discord group they were talking about security flaws in CoinPoker. If everyone else wants to leave me alone with this burden, that’s fine. But I’m not going to apologize for acting in good faith to protect my followers. I’m glad CoinPoker acted quickly in resolving the issues, their speed is admirable. But saying there was never any problem and asking me to apologize is something I won’t tolerate. I currently don’t work for any poker site or media, I have no financial motivation behind my actions. If you want proof that there were vulnerabilities in the initial launch of the desktop application, I invite you to read the following post: https://t.co/6pa4ev7H4c ».
This last message generated mercy in Patrick Leonard, who lowered his weapons and proceeded to apologize for the way he expressed himself.
«I took the last few hours to read everything again (I was posting angry before, with 20 tables open, I don’t recommend it). Reading everything again I realize that you were well within your rights to try to look out for the interests of your community by making that post. The fact ended up being that no one was affected, no balance was moved and nothing was stolen from anyone, however, the truth is that there were possible vulnerabilities. I think the initial language bothered me, but that’s not an excuse.
You shouldn’t apologize for what you said initially and I shouldn’t have gotten aggressive about it either. Saying the thing about your 10 friends was simply a matter of ego and I know something like that would never happen. Unnecessary. To be honest, I think she is a great ambassador for the game both at the tables (I don’t cheat grandmothers) and online. Returning to the charity topic, I’m going to play the CoinPoker main event and donate 100% of the winnings to charity.»
After accusations, anger, and fights, everything has ended well between Leonard and Comeskey.
